Union Salzgitter

A club that was on the verge of respectability in the late 1970s, but has
since vanished off the radar.

Union was originally founded in 1920 (in the Gasthaus "Zur Börse"), with soccer as the first sport. Others were
added over the years, but the club was disbanded in 1940 for the duration of the war. After
WW-II, several clubs compted under the banner of Sportfreunde
Salzgitter, although most broke off and started there own clubs.
Whatever was left over took the name Union again in 1953. (The name
"Sportfreunde" was then acquired by SpFr Lebenstedt, which "moved" to
Salgzitter in 1963.).

After obscurity, the club began to make a move by the mid 1970s.
The highpoint was 1977, when Union played for promotion into the 2.Liga
Nord. They had a couple of more runs, but then got relegated in 1985, and
disappeared from view. They appear to kicking around in the 9th division,
possibly in a "spielgemeinschaft" with Fortuna Salzgitter.
